it says a problem made the program stop working correctly, the program will close and you will be noticed if there is any solution to the problem (translated from swedish=P)

Are you using the latest patch? Do you have all your drivers up to date? Have you tried looking here?

If it only gives one option, it's typically a Data Execution Prevention problem. Quite a few games have this issue. I don't know if they're recompiling code for your CPU specifically or what, but you might want to try adding an exception to DEP. Look it up on Google.

Athlon64 2.7gHz->OC 3.9gHz, 31C, MSi 9500GT->OC 1gHz core/2gHz memory, 48C, 4Gb DDR2 667, 500Gb Seagate + 80Gb Maxtor + 40Gb Maxtor = 620Gb, XP Home
